THE LAST PAGE - By Shunyamurti
All is consciousness. There is only consciousness. If you were not aware, you would not be. Your awareness is your Being. When you awaken to the fact that the cosmos is only an appearance in consciousness—the equivalent of a dream—you can begin to understand that you are the Dreamer.
You are not the one you thought you were, the mortal bodily human trying to cope with an insane world. You who are in the dream are not the same One who is dreaming you. And yet you are. By recognizing that you are not the ego—but only the awareness of it—you will awaken from the dream. Once awakened, you will understand that the Dream is the expression of Your Self. It is not different.
Therefore, everyone in your Dream is an aspect of Your Self. If you identify with your ego, then others will come across as projections of your ego. If you realize Your Self, then all are aspects of the infinite creative intelligence, beauty, love, and goodness of God. You will know that when you know that
You are the Mind of God.
Since the Mind of God knows all, always, You know That now. Your ego does not know, but you know you are not the ego and its ignorance.
The part that knows the Truth, at least symbolically, but still feels different from the Self (or God) is the soul. To gain the intelligence and power necessary to change the course of the world Dream, you the soul must extract yourself from the grip of you the ego and attain complete Liberation as You, the One Self.
Excerpt from the Book "Gems of Wisdom" by Shunyamurti.
